 (7 Customer Reviews)
After successful albums that effectively followed contemporary hard rock trends, Cinderella reached back into the Stones and Aerosmith songbooks and created a sneering, raunchy hard rock album that was artistically their finest moment, even if it didn't reach the same commercial heights as its predecessors. But the sales figures don't matter (it only sold a million copies); Heartbreak Station shows that Cinderella has more genuine rock & roll grit than most of the metal bands of the late '80s. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Rolling Stone (1/10/91) - 3 Stars - Good - "...amazingly likable and even brave...You'd have to search pretty far to find white blues this consistently catchy and rhythmic, this varied, this free of gut-busting macho slop...could prove the most inescapable hard rock since APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION..."
Q (1/91) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...Already multi-platinum shifters in their homeland, this should finally guarantee them tickets to the ball over here..."

 Third Album release a classic
Being that Cinderella will always hold a special place in my hard rock heart, I must say that this is indeed a must have for any blues inspired hard rock fan. Although the band took a different path compared to "Night Songs" and "Long Cold Winter", the album is no less memorable. Heartbreak Station is one of my all time top ballads and the rest of the album is great. Cinderellas' follow up album "Still Climbing" is another great album and well worth the hunt. It's hard to find but well worth the money!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Interesting, But Not Their Best
For their third album, Cinderella get armpit-deep in the swamp. Lots of blues, country, and southern-rock elements, all of which were present on their first two albums, but never to this degree. It's a mellower album, with more acoustic parts, and not as all-out rockin' as we've seen them before, and unfortunately, not all the songs are that memorable, particularly in the second half. Songs like "The More THings Change," "Sick For the Cure" and "Make Your Own Way" are typical Cinderella boogie-rock, and the title track is a great, yearning ballad. "One For Rock 'n' Roll" has a very countrified feel, while the single "Shelter Me" incorporates banjo, saxophone and whatever that little thing is that goes boing-boing. But tracks like 'Love Gone Bad" and 'Winds of Change" are just plain boring. For this price, though, you may as well get it.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Cinderella go their own way
Although it wasn't as successful as Night Songs or Long Cold Winter, this is probably Cinderella's best and most daring album. To break out of the hair metal format (well, not entirely) and attempt a Stonesy or Aerosmith-esque album like this takes a bold artist, and Cinderella do it fine, even reaching into delta blues and country at times. Best song is Love's Got Me Doin' Time (try to resist that groove), but the rest are killer as well, with only Love Gone Bad getting kind of boring. Overall, if you like hair metal, get this, or if you just want a good rock album, pick this up.

Heartbreak Station songs
$13.95
The album that Brazil has been threatening to make from the get-go has finally arrived. The Philosophy of Velocity is a natural extension of all that has come before, yet a giant step forward for the band. It's obvious that something's up from the elegant piano and tippity-tapping typewriter instrumental that opens the album, but when the group kicks into "Crime," a dizzying, exhilarating rocker, with just the precise pinch of self-indulgent pomposity to give it that real classic rock feel, it's like fireworks exploding. Sure, most of the elements here were already in place on the band's previous set, A Hostage & the Meaning of Life, but what's catapulted Brazil to the next level is Philosophy's phenomenal production. The sound is absolutely huge, with an incredible vastness that infuses even the sparsest numbers, like the elegant "Au Revoir, Mr. Mercury." But as dense as the set feels, its heft never weighs down the album. This was a popular production style in the classic rock era, especially in the prog scene; now though, it's most consistently heard in roots reggae. Regardless, it perfectly suits Brazil, highlighting the band's dynamics, majestic styling, and keyboard heavy approach. It's especially effective on "Captain Mainwaring," beautifully conjuring up the mariner's underwater world, and works just as well for the extravagant "A Year in Heaven," blowing up the guitars to massive proportions and illuminating the song's "Stairway to Heaven" inspiration. Nothing could better capture the swirling new romantic atmosphere of "The Vapours," nor highlight its twist of a Spanish tinge. The bigger the aural assault, the better the sonic sound. On "Cameo," for example, the ringing, harmonic vocals are splendidly counterpointed by the chiming keyboards. The keyboards reach their apotheosis on "You Never Know," which is equal parts hardcore, hard rock, and classic David Bowie. "Candles" goes for a more post-punk sound, while "Breathe" is an unadulterated alt-rocker, boasting lovely guitar work, an infectious melody, and a lethal chorus. The production inevitably smoothes down Brazil's rougher edges, emphasizing the band's own shift in styles. Upstart indie rockers no more, the group hasn't so much moved ...

Heartbreak Station album
$8.99
With 1986's REIGN IN BLOOD, Slayer reached the pinnacle of its rapid-fire, speed metal style. For the band's next effort, instead of embracing its hardcore roots even further, the band retraced its metal influences, namely Black Sabbath. 1988's SOUTH OF HEAVEN surprised many fans because it contained several mid-paced, dirge-like compositions that spotlighted metal's crunch over punk's reckless energy. Tom Araya's lyrics still addressed controversial subjects, ...
